Learn about elastic potential energy and how it is stored in objects that can be stretched or compressed.
Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state.

Another example could be elastic potential energy or the energy stored in a spring. At the microscopic level, as you stretch the spring, see the hand stretching the spring? The atoms are being pulled out of their equilibrium position within a solid and thus gain potential energy from the electromagnetic force that holds the solid together.

"Energy" is a word that's used a lot. Here, you'll learn about how it's one of the most useful concepts in physics. Along the way, we'll talk about work, kinetic energy, potential energy, and conservation of energy.

Elastic potential energy (spring type) is the most common one you'll see, but in modern times it is often combined with electric energy to wind the spring mechanism and possibly for a release mechanism.
